Hello,

I've been having a really weird issue with my new laptop. If anyone can shed any light on what is causing the issue, and preferably advice to FIX it, I'd greatly appreciate it.

First some PC information:

Zoostorm Laptop purchased last December
Windows XP Professional SP2 (had Vista installed but crashed out all the time + I didn't like it, so reformatted with XP Pro)
Core 2 Duo T7700
4.00 GB DDR RAM (3GB recognized, 32bit windows)
nVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS
Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter (connecting to Belkin Pre-N router and Satellite internet with HN7000S modem)

The problem:

As I use a laptop and am sometimes running on battery power, I often use the hibernation feature to save time. After I've been using the laptop for X number of hours (let's say 18 hours) I start getting weird issues when I'm browsing the internet. At first the problems are just mildly irritating: Pages sometimes seem to "hang" on loading and a refresh sorts it out. It gradually gets worse THOUGH. I start getting images showing up in the wrong places. For instance, say I'm browsing a photo gallery and eBay. I might suddenly get one of the images on the photo gallery turn up on eBay where an eBay image should display (anyone ever experienced this? lol). As I continue to use the internet and as the time ticks by, so it gets worse. Sometimes I will press on a link and instead of displaying the page, my web browser just attempts to download the page. When it gets to it's worst, I can try to go to a page and it will instantly display "The page cannot be displayed" and every time I press refresh it goes to the error page instnatly without attempting to load the page. If I refresh about 20 times it will suddenly work correctly. At this point (or sooner) I reboot and the problem is fixed.

As you can imagine, this is rather annoying and puzzling. I've tried using Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, but the same problems occur.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
SteveUnfortunately standby and hibernation can be a bit tricky and from my own experience I know some machines simply can't wake from standby/hibernation properly.
What you can try is to update all your drivers.
Since this is a laptop I recommend you get the newest drivers from the manufacturer of the laptop. Also, are you using any spyware removal tools?  If not, post back and we can recommend some. 

And, I suggest you download CCleaner and use it on a regular basis.  Get the Slim version at http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds  Run the Windows scan and have CCleaner remove all from your hard drive.  Before running the Windows scan, you may want to unselect some of the scan options, but I suggest you be sure to inlcude Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, and History, under Internet Explorer.   Then, run the Registry scan.  When prompted to backup the registry, do so.  When CCleaner has finished the registry scan, have it fix all ITEMS found.Deerpark: I didn't experience this problem on my previous laptop and I used hibernation then. However, I had to download a patch from Microsoft to make hibernation work at all for this laptop. I was getting an error that suggested I didn't have enough memory (LOL 4gb). Perhaps that patch didn't work correctly.

I'll try to leave my laptop switched on all day one day next weekend. That should confirm if hibernation has anything to do with it or not (I suspect it might myself, and what you say confirms it could be the issue).

I downloaded all the latest drivers December/January; however, I could try checking for updates.

Does anyone here have experience with using over 3 GB of RAM? Maybe there are some tips since Windows doesn't recognize it.

soybeen: I use SpywareBlaster, ADAWARE and Spybot Search & Destory as well as CCleaner. I use Kerio (Sunbelt) firewall and AVG Antivirus. I also use a couple of other programmes in addition to CCleaner for hard drive cleanup and registry correction/cleanup.Have you been checking your laptop temps?No, it doesn't seem possible to monitor temperatures on this laptop  However, it seems to run pretty cool when I'm just browsing the internet (cool compared to GAMING, for instance).

I've had my laptop switched on for 4 hours today without hibernation. I'm already starting to have problems with web pages freezing (just a white screen or partial loading before hanging) and 1 web page attempted to download rather than display. By tonight I'll probably be forced to restart.

Any ideas? It seems to be related to the length of time I'm online. The longer I'm online, the worse it gets. This problem only occurs on my laptop, not on other computers on the network.if i were you i would download a program called speedfan cause this dose sound like you laptop is heating upOk, I downloaded the SpeedFan programme, here are the readings:

HD0 - 34C
Temp1 (ACPI) - 30C
Temp2 (ACPI) - 59C
Core 0 (CPU) - 44C
Core 1 (CPU) - 44C
Core (GPU) - 61C

I can't manipulate Fans/Voltages/Speeds

I don't really know what is typical etc., as even when I had a desktop computer the temperature censor didn't work lol.

If I start getting the internet trouble and reboot, the problems are nonexistent after the reboot for another x number of hours. Surely if it was related to hit, rebooting wouldn't improve the issue? 

Edit: Here's one of the error messages I also get, not sure if it is significant:

Error Report:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Server Error: 501 Not Implemented
Operating System Error Nr:6: S_errno_ENXIO


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No RPM for this combination of URL and methodWhat type of connection is it?
As for 501 Not Implemented error, check here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811262I'm connecting to a Belkin Pre-N wirelss router through the built-in Atheros AR5007EG Wireless. The actual internet connection is a mobile satellite system with HN7000S modems.

Other laptops use the same router and internet connection with no problems. So it must be something to do with my actual laptop.Did you try my link?
I asked about the type of your connection, because I found some posts concerning Operating System Error Nr:6: S_errno_ENXIO , and they are all tied up to satellite internet:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Operating+System+Error+Nr%3A6%3A+S_errno_ENXIO+&btnG=Google+Search
You may want to dig through them.Thanks for the links. I've had a look, but to no avail.

I'm going to try posting on the Datastorm users site to see if anyone with my connection has experienced the same problem.

If I don't get any joy there, any more ideas/suggestions?Did you try M$ link from my post #8?Yes, and I tried disabling HTTP 1.1. Things seem a bit better, but I'll need to keep testing it for a day or two to be sure what's going on with it.

Now I get this error message on my modem page after a few refreshes:

Error Report:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Server Error: 504 Gateway Time-out
Operating System Error Nr:6: S_errno_ENXIO


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

URL parsing error


I'm not too bothered about that though, because I don't get that error when browsing the internet. The internet problems I've had don't come with error messages generally.

I'll keep you posted after trying some things. ThanksSounds good
